Be your best version

Change is possible

Do you want to make meaningful change? It’s time to change career, learn something new or invest more time and energy in yourself?

Life seems to be a steady flow of tasks and jobs that need done, with no time to think. There is never enough time in the day, so not one thing receives the attention it needs, least of all you. The demands of our jobs, families and friends can be relentless. Coaching is an effective way to take back control. Clients use the time with their coach to re-prioritise and get clarity on what is important. They create goals and work together to create a plan that will deliver results. Coaching is a conversation with purpose, it’s not therapy or mentoring. When an athlete wants to run faster or jump higher, they use the best coach to help them achieve their goals. In life, we all need a bit of help to get the best out of ourselves.

Coaching focuses on the here and now rather than the past. It is not therapy, mentoring or counselling. A coach needs to have the knowledge and understanding of the process and has a style, the skills and techniques to ask the right questions to unlock your full potential. Your coach is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) so adheres to a strict code of conduct and confidentiality.

As skilled coaches, we use our expertise to help you find the answers so that you can make the change. Lightbulb moments are those moments when you realise why you’ve become stuck and then know how to fix it…..and of course fix it!

Early Careers Coaching

Get off to the right start…

Don't panic, we can shine a light on the future.

Suitable for individuals, business and education.

We recognise that a career now spans many areas and not just one “job for life”. We hear from students and early careerists that knowing what that job should be is an added pressure.

What happens when you no longer love the subject you are studying? What if you don’t want to follow your chosen career path? What if you don’t know where to start? What if it isn’t what you thought it would be, what now?

Navigating an ever-changing landscape can be daunting and overwhelming, we can help you make the right decisions for you, build a plan and develop the foundations to become successful and independent professional.

Youth Coaching

It's ok to be you

Developing the future

Suitable for pupils, students, parents, education

Youth coaching provides a safe place with no judgement, it is not counselling, therapy or mentoring. Therapy will help you unravel the past to make sense of how you are feeling right now.

Coaching will take you as you are right now and work with you get to where you want to be in the future, from this day forward.

Coaching can be delivered face-to-face, by phone or virtually which means you can stay in the comfort of your own home too. Your coach holds a full PVG and a highly skilled accredited professional.

Coaching has long been associated with sports. Athletes and teams have people to help improve their performance and achieve their goals. Even Athletes at the very peek of their (near super-hero) abilities have had their confidence shaken, self-doubt and anxiety creeps in. The coach will ask them about what’s causing them to feel this way (triggers), what could they do to manage it going forward and take control of how they feel again. The coach will help them recognise the triggers and take-action before it starts affecting performance again.

With this knowledge, Athletes feel more confident and resilient, they have new tools to use and can work to achieve their goals.

Youth coaching isn’t any different. We are all super-hero’s and need the tools to be able to grow and develop to become the best version of ourselves.

A youth coach can help:

Manage stress and pressure
Build resilience
Learn to manage emotions
Build confidence and social skills
Help get back on track
Provide support on difficult or embarrassing issues
Discover potential and set goals to reach it

A complementary conversation is available to parents and carers as well as the individual.

As well as coaching for pupils, students and teaching staff, we offer training sessions in schools, colleges and universities.

Kids Coaching

The future superheroes

Coaching raises confidence and self-esteem

Suitable for children, parents, education, youth groups

Children feel empowered when they can take control and make positive change for themselves. Coaching provides the tools to build confidence, build resilience and self-esteem. Kids can set positive goals, deal with difficult situations and bounce back from them.

Our children will face countless challenges throughout their early lives. Coaching helps to lay the foundations early, providing the internal tools they need to flourish.

At lightbulb.coach we believe that Coaching is for everyone. We are highly experienced at Coaching the grown-ups but why wait until adulthood to create a better self-awareness? We wonder what the world might look like if our future grown-ups are able to make positive change for themselves early.

Typical areas we coach on:

Building confidence and self-esteem
Managing emotions
Building resilience
Dealing with conflict
Understanding and building on strengths
Dealing with and creating change

We work with you as parents and carers to understand more about your child and how Coaching can help. We offer an in-person or virtual Coaching environment. Sessions can be held in our business premises in Aberdeen, at your home, online, or in school (with the school’s permission).

Get in touch to find out more, we will call you back to answer any questions.

You will receive a complimentary session with you and your child before starting the coaching sessions, so you can get to know your coach first, and make sure you have the right Coach for you.
